I figured out the problem! Go to your connections tab. (if you don't see the tab click on View, then Show/Hide and then Connections) Any server that starts with the numbers 204 blah blah blah is BAD. Remove it and Limewire will automatically detect a new one. Keep doing this repeatedly until all these bad servers are gone. You should be able to search again.

Another way to check a bad server is by clicking on the server and then clicking browse host. If you get an error msg, remove the server.

Worked like a charm thanks. I was getting nothing but that fixed it. Is it a bug or something? I just installed this new version the other day.

OMG!!! Thank you so much!!! I've been struggling with this kind of problem for the longest time! I don't know if anyone else had this additional symptom, but, my Limewire kept telling me it was detecting a firewall when it wasn't searching. I tried every combination of deleteting and adding exceptions for the Windows firewall, and completely uninstalling my security software, but nothing helped! Nothing accept this! Thanks again!

I am new to LimeWire. Recently, I do not get any search results. Could someone tell what I should do. I tried following the above instructions to correct the problem, but I'm still not getting any search results. Thank you.

Try it again...http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showpo...58&postcount=6

If it still doesn't work try these fixes...
Try uninstalling your Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE offline version....(5th one down)
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp

Then uninstall Limewire using the uninstaller which is found in start > all programs > limewire...then re-install it using the offline installer...
http://www.limewire.com/english/cont...oadfree2.shtml

If that does not help with your problem try deleting your preference folder...
